Description

rmdir can return EINVAL if the directory is a mount point :

See sys/kern/vfs_syscalls.c:3997

/*
 * Do not allow directories representing mount points to be
 * deleted, even if empty.  Check write perms on mount point
 * in case the vnode is aliased (aka nullfs).
         */
        if (nd->nl_nch.ncp->nc_flag & (NCF_ISMOUNTPT))
                return (EINVAL);
